The Mountains of Espírito Santo embodies the perfect blend of tradition and innovation

This coffee is classified as Level 1 (HNV 1) out of 3.

Our partner FAF has implemented an indicator called High Nature Value (HNV) to assess the sustainability of each farm across three levels. Their teams use this tool to support farmers in transitioning toward more regenerative agriculture.

HNV 1 means that the farm preserves its soil by implementing cover crops.

The mountains of Espírito Santo are a premier coffee-growing region, renowned for its unique terroir and exceptional Arabica beans, characterised by a distinctly sharp acidity and clarity, thanks to abundant cloud cover and moisture from the nearby coast.

The regions high altitudes combined with a temperate climate, provide an ideal environment for coffee cultivation, contributing to the slow maturation of coffee cherries, enhancing their flavor complexity. Coffee farms in this regions typically range from small to medium-sized family farms cultivating diverse coffee varieties.

Emphasizing quality over quantity, the Mountains of Espírito Santo embodies the perfect blend of tradition and innovation, delivering exceptional coffee experiences that reflect its rich heritage and unique landscape.

The region Espirito Santo

Although the state of Espirito Santo is one of the smallest in Brazil, it is known for its mosaic of landscapes, from rugged mountains to Atlantic coastal regions. Known for its historic robusta production, Espirito Santo is a new player in specialty coffee production. The production of Arabica used to have a bad reputation. The high humidity in the air coming from the ocean has been a real challenge to process and dry coffee properly.

A small appellation for Brazil, Espirito Santo is made up of small estates of 5 to 20 hectares located on steep mountains. Very mountainous terroir, the harvests are 100% manual with a high percentage of selective collection. Rich in native forests with a remarkable biodiversity, the region wishes to preserve the quality of its territory and its remarkable landscapes punctuated by the Atlantic coast and steep mountains.

This region has the most cloud cover, moisture and therefore rain out of any other in Brazil because of its close proximity to the coast. Coffees here have a distinctively sharper acidity and clarity to flavor. Think citrus fruit and brown sugar with light florals. This region resembles more like Colombia than the rest of Brasil !
